Luke 14 Darby Translation
Audio: World English Bible (WEB), read by Winfred W. Henson · About the recordings
1 And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the rulers, [who was] of the Pharisees, to eat bread on [the] sabbath, that they were watching him.
1 Y ACONTECIÓ que entrando en casa de un príncipe de los Fariseos un sábado á comer pan, ellos le acechaban.
2 And behold, there was a certain dropsical [man] before him.
2 Y he aquí un hombre hidrópico estaba delante de él.
3 And Jesus answering spoke unto the doctors of the law and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath?
3 Y respondiendo Jesús, habló á los doctores de la ley y á los Fariseos, diciendo: ¿Es lícito sanar en sábado?
4 But they were silent. And taking him he healed him and let him go.
4 Y ellos callaron. Entonces él tomándole, le sanó, y despidióle.
5 And answering he said to them, Of which of you shall an ass or ox fall into a well, that he does not straightway pull him up on the sabbath day?
5 Y respondiendo á ellos dijo: ¿El asno ó el buey de cuál de vosotros caerá en [algún] pozo, y no lo sacará luego en día de sábado?
6 And they were not able to answer him to these things.
6 Y no le podían replicar á estas cosas.
7 And he spoke a parable to those that were invited, remarking how they chose out the first places, saying to them,
7 Y observando cómo escogían los primeros asientos á la mesa, propuso una parábola á los convidados, diciéndoles:
8 When thou art invited by any one to a wedding, do not lay thyself down in the first place at table, lest perhaps a more honourable than thou be invited by him,
8 Cuando fueres convidado de alguno á bodas, no te sientes en el primer lugar, no sea que otro más honrado que tú esté por él convidado,
9 and he who invited thee and him come and say to thee, Give place to this [man], and then thou begin with shame to take the last place.
9 Y viniendo el que te llamó á ti y á él, te diga: Da lugar á éste: y entonces comiences con vergüenza á tener el lugar último.
10 But when thou hast been invited, go and put thyself down in the last place, that when he who has invited thee comes, he may say to thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have honour before all that are lying at table with thee;
10 Mas cuando fueres convidado, ve, y siéntate en el postrer lugar; porque cuando viniere el que te llamó, te diga: Amigo, sube arriba: entonces tendrás gloria delante de los que juntamente se asientan á la mesa.
11 for every one that exalts himself shall be abased, and he that abases himself shall be exalted.
11 Porque cualquiera que se ensalza, será humillado; y el que se humilla, será ensalzado.
12 And he said also to him that had invited him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, nor thy kinsfolk, nor rich neighbours, lest it may be they also should invite thee in return, and a recompense be made thee.
12 Y dijo también al que le había convidado: Cuando haces comida ó cena, no llames á tus amigos, ni á tus hermanos, ni á tus parientes, ni á vecinos ricos; porque también ellos no te vuelvan á convidar, y te sea hecha compensación.
13 But when thou makest a feast, call poor, crippled, lame, blind:
13 Mas cuando haces banquete, llama á los pobres, los mancos, los cojos, los ciegos;
14 and thou shalt be blessed; for they have not [the means] to recompense thee; for it shall be recompensed thee in the resurrection of the just.
14 Y serás bienaventurado; porque no te pueden retribuir; mas te será recompensado en la resurrección de los justos.
15 And one of those that were lying at table with [them], hearing these things, said to him, Blessed [is] he who shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.
15 Y oyendo esto uno de los que juntamente estaban sentados á la mesa, le dijo: Bienaventurado el que comerá pan en el reino de los cielos.
16 And he said to him, A certain man made a great supper and invited many.
16 El entonces le dijo: Un hombre hizo una grande cena, y convidó á muchos.
17 And he sent his bondman at the hour of supper to say to those who were invited, Come, for already all things are ready.
17 Y á la hora de la cena envió á su siervo á decir á los convidados: Venid, que ya está todo aparejado.
18 And all began, without exception, to excuse themselves. The first said to him, I have bought land, and I must go out and see it; I pray thee hold me for excused.
18 Y comenzaron todos á una á excusarse. El primero le dijo: He comprado una hacienda, y necesito salir y verla; te ruego que me des por excusado.
19 And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them; I pray thee hold me for excused.
19 Y el otro dijo: He comprado cinco yuntas de bueyes, y voy á probarlos; ruégote que me des por excusado.
20 And another said, I have married a wife, and on this account I cannot come.
20 Y el otro dijo: Acabo de casarme, y por tanto no puedo ir.
21 And the bondman came up and brought back word of these things to his lord. Then the master of the house, in anger, said to his bondman, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring here the poor and crippled and lame and blind.
21 Y vuelto el siervo, hizo saber estas cosas á su señor. Entonces enojado el padre de la familia, dijo á su siervo: Ve presto por las plazas y por las calles de la ciudad, y mete acá los pobres, los mancos, y cojos, y ciegos.
22 And the bondman said, Sir, it is done as thou hast commanded, and there is still room.
22 Y dijo el siervo: Señor, hecho es como mandaste, y aun hay lugar.
23 And the lord said to the bondman, Go out into the ways and fences and compel to come in, that my house may be filled;
23 Y dijo el señor al siervo: Ve por los caminos y por los vallados, y fuérza[los] á entrar, para que se llene mi casa.
24 for I say to you, that not one of those men who were invited shall taste of my supper.
24 Porque os digo que ninguno de aquellos hombres que fueron llamados, gustará mi cena.
25 And great crowds went with him; and, turning round, he said to them,
25 Y muchas gentes iban con él; y volviéndose les dijo:
26 If any man come to me, and shall not hate his own father and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, yea, and his own life too, he cannot be my disciple;
26 Si alguno viene á mí, y no aborrece á su padre, y madre, y mujer, é hijos, y hermanos, y hermanas, y aun también su vida, no puede ser mi discípulo.
27 and whoever does not carry his cross and come after me cannot be my disciple.
27 Y cualquiera que no trae su cruz, y viene en pos de mí, no puede ser mi discípulo.
28 For which of you, desirous of building a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, if he have what [is needed] to complete it;
28 Porque ¿cuál de vosotros, queriendo edificar una torre, no cuenta primero sentado los gastos, si tiene lo que necesita para acabarla?
29 in order that, having laid the foundation of it, and not being able to finish it, all who see it do not begin to mock at him,
29 Porque después que haya puesto el fundamento, y no pueda acabarla, todos los que [lo] vieren, no comiencen á hacer burla de él,
30 saying, This man began to build and was not able to finish?
30 Diciendo: Este hombre comenzó á edificar, y no pudo acabar.
31 Or what king, going on his way to engage in war with another king, does not, sitting down first, take counsel whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him coming against him with twenty thousand?
31 ¿O cuál rey, habiendo de ir á hacer guerra contra otro rey, sentándose primero no consulta si puede salir al encuentro con diez mil al que viene contra él con veinte mil?
32 and if not, while he is yet far off, having sent an embassy, he asks for terms of peace.
32 De otra manera, cuando aun el otro está lejos, le ruega por la paz, enviándo[le] embajada.
33 Thus then every one of you who forsakes not all that is his own cannot be my disciple.
33 Así pues, cualquiera de vosotros que no renuncia á todas las cosas que posee, no puede ser mi discípulo.
34 Salt [then] [is] good, but if the salt also has become savourless, wherewith shall it be seasoned?
34 Buena es la sal; mas si aun la sal fuere desvanecida, ¿con qué se adobará?
35 It is proper neither for land nor for dung; it is cast out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
35 Ni para la tierra, ni para el muladar es buena; fuera la arrojan. Quien tiene oídos para oir, oiga.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Holy lessons have been set forth before us, to which we should both give ear, and upon which by the Lord's help I would deliver some observations. In the Apostolic lesson thanks are rendered unto the Lord for the faith of the Gentiles, of course, because it was His work.

They then represent the Saviour as having indicated this twofold faculty: first, the sustaining power, when He said, "Whosoever doth not bear his cross (Stauros), and follow after me, cannot be my disciple;" and again, "Taking up the cross, follow me;" but the separating power when He said, "I came not to send peace, but a sword." They also maintain …
Thus both of them, being now Thine, were building a tower at the necessary cost, --of forsaking all that they had and following Thee.

For this reason Luke saith, "If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple;" not commanding simply to hate them, since this were even quite contrary to the law; but "when one desires to be loved more …

John, therefore, did distinctly foresee the first "resurrection of the just," and the inheritance in the kingdom of the earth; and what the prophets have prophesied concerning it harmonize [with his vision].
